Tot School

Caleb & I held our first official Tot School this week!  When I say official, I mean that I actually took pictures.  :)   We occasionally do learning activities throughout the week, but I am trying to be more intentional about it.  Things have been pretty hectic around here, but we managed to sneak in a few activities.

We made jello together.

We tried musical glasses, filling each glass up with a different level of water to make different sounds, but Caleb was way more interested in stirring.

Drawing practice.

I saw this idea in a Parenting magazine.  You tip a strainer upside-down and let them put spaghetti in the holes.

Caleb LOVES to use glue.  We spent some time with his truck stickers and, for some reason, Caleb decided they MUST be glued on.

The finished product.

We also spent some time here Each letter has a short clip emphasizing the letter’s name and the sound it makes.  Caleb loved watching these and imitating the sounds of each letter.  We didn’t go through the letters in order, instead I let him pick out which ones he wanted to watch.

We got out his Doug & Melissa magnetic chalkboard & letters.  We sorted the letters into different colors.
